    Mick Doohan not suprised that Casey Stoner misses riding bikes


    Casey Stoner’s decision to come out of his retirement to test for HRC took many by suprise - even if earlier in this month the Australian seemed slightly unsatisfied regarding his new career on four wheels, and following the Coates Hire Ipswich 360 race, the Austrialian tweeted that the ‘Dunlop Series is a joke’ - which was immediately cancelled from the Twittersphere.
    Ever since his retirement there has been speculation that he would do a couple of wild card entries, many believing that racing cars wouldn’t be able to give him the satisfaction that racing two wheels does, but there was once person who said he wasn’t suprised regarding Stoner’s decision to return - albeit just for testing - and that was five-time World Champion, and fellow countryman Mick Doohan.
    I’m not surprised Stoner misses the buzz of riding bikes fast, it’s that passion that drew both of us to the sport,” wrote Doohan for News Limited. “Honda has no plans for Stoner to make any wildcard race appearances, although I’m sure the rumour mill will go into overdrive with the Australian GP in October.
    “I know Stoner was very firm in his personal decision to stop racing MotoGP at the end of last year, although I must admit I was surprised given that he is still young and so fast. I respect his decision, but I’d love to see him back racing, even some wildcards – it would be great for the sport in Australia if that is what he decided. I have no doubt that if he wants to race bikes, he is still fast enough to do it at the top level. He is great bike talent.
